Slippers are the biggest collection on the site, and for good reason: they are quick, they use up yarn, and nobody ever has too many pairs. You will find padded-sole slippers for men and women, crocheted and knitted moccasins, tall boot slippers in basketweave and cables, sneaker-style slippers and booties for babies.

Most are worked in worsted weight acrylic, which washes well and wears hard; a few use a doubled strand for a thicker sole. Every pattern lists its own yarn, hook and sizing.

Which to try first: the slip stitch knitted slippers and the very easy bubbly slippers are good first pairs. The padded-sole slippers take a little longer and give the most comfortable result.
